 When
Dr Alice Tanner discovers two skeletons during an archaeological dig
in southern France, she unearths a link with a horrific and brutal
past. But it's not just the sight of the shattered bones that makes
her uneasy; there's an overwhelming sense of evil in the tomb that
Alice finds hard to shake off, even in the bright French sunshine.
Puzzled by the words carved inside the chamber, Alice has an uneasy
feeling that she has disturbed something which was meant to remain
hidden... Eight hundred years ago, on the night before a brutal
civil war ripped apart Languedoc, a book was entrusted to Alais, a
young herbalist and healer. Although she cannot understand the
symbols and diagrams the book contains, Alais knows her destiny lies
in protecting their secret, at all costs. Skilfully blending the
lives of two women divided by centuries but united by a common
destiny, LABYRINTH is a powerful story steeped in the atmosphere and
history of southern France. |
